After the test session in New Zealand where Brook MacDonald and Markus Pekoll worked with Cesar Rojo of Mondraker and Jono, Marzocchi engineer from Wide Open Distribution on setting up the bike, the MS Mondraker Team was back in Europe, and testing continued close to Barcelona.

In order to get the final touch and some race experience all three riders were competing a race in St. Andreu de la Barca, which ends up with 2 podiums for the MS Mondraker team. World champion Emmeline won by almost 20 seconds and vice world champion Damien got 2nd just 0,8 seconds behind local matador Guardia Pascual Bernat.
